GoPro MAX Waterproof 5.6K Sports & Helmet Camera

Bought the Max when I broke my Fusion. So far one of my favorite GoPro’s! Easy to use and much more function able than the Fusion. Recapture >>>

Pleased with the Hero side of the Max, since I don't need 4K, only 1080p60. However the post work still required for 360 Videos in Windows is frustrating. I wish Gopro would support Windows like they support Apple. Hopefully they will soon release the software necessay to import the 360 files directly into my editing software, but for now it's very time consuming in post, having to first import files using Gopro export software, then Handbrake to encode the files to a usable format, then injecting the metadata for 360 so that I can edit in my Windows software… very time consuming. The mobile editing 360 software is ok, but the resulting 360 files are low quality 1080p, usually about 15 bits not the 78 bits quality advertised. It's fun playing with the framing of the 360 files but until Gopro has a suitable import software for Windows, I would hold off on a purchase unless you're using Apple.

I love this camera. The possibilities are endless. We really enjoyed the panoramic photos. No more sweeping your hand across the horizon to capture the moment and having stitching issues. My only gripe (on top of the $500 price tag) is the lack of 4K in Hero mode. That's a little disappointing. Also doesn't perform as well at night, but I kind of expected that. Audio is great. 360 videos are really cool with the key framing (which is quite simple to operate). I think this is a really well-rounded camera...
